My 3 newest cousins. These are the 3 little bairns I sewed all the burp cloths for. The 2 on the outside are Kristina and Anna, twin girls born on January 6, and the middle one is their cousin Henry, born January 31. The 3 are going to be very close co
My new "plant"! What kind of seeds do you plant to grow kitties? I tried wintering over a diplodenia and grew a Boo instead :-) Boo is growing into a very loving and kneedy kitty. He loves attention, cuddles and pets. He is still gett
Cat butt key chains. I had so much fun making the shamrock key chains, I decided to try my own hand at making a pattern. I saw a crochet pattern for a cat butt mug rug, so took that picture and drew my own. You can't see it clearly in the picture, bu
100 Shamrock keychains finished. The pattern is from The Bean Stitch. I decided to make as many as I could from a spare piece of vinyl and managed to squeak out 100 of them. Will give a few away to the coffee ladies and friends. The rest will go to th
Hi Cuties! I'd like to introduce you to the newest member of our family. His name is Boo and he joined his forever home today. He is 9 weeks old and we brought him home from the shelter. Miss Mocha is not too happy, she is sulking downstairs and won
The girls LOVE their new pillows. Rylee could hardly wait to use hers - she lay down right after the picture was taken and had a nap :-) Thanks to all who commented on them earlier - as you can see, they were a big hit.
More pillowcases for the clinic. Here's the last of this batch of pillowcases destined for the cancer clinic. Hubby starts his treatments Wednesday, so I'll drop off all 25 pillowcases while we're there. I'm going to have to take a wagon to carry t
More pillowcases. These are for my great-nieces for Valentine's day. I used the Emily font from Swak Embroidery (it was on 1/2 price last week) to embroider their names so they won't fight over which case belongs to them. They fit on smaller pillows
A large diaper bag I made for the newest addition to my cousin's family. Little Henry made his debut on January 31 and his mom used the bag as a duffle to carry his items to and from the hospital. The bag has many zippered and non-zippered pockets insi
I decided it was time to get some sewing done before hubby starts his chemo next week. Our cancer clinic gives pillow cases to the new patients, so I've made another batch for them. Hubby snickered and asked if he could pick one of mine and bring it ba
Hi ladies - update on my hubby's cancer. Well.....he ended up with stage 3 colon cancer and a total weight loss of 65lbs (29.5 k)! He wasn't a big fella to start with, so now I have to put him on a super high fat/calorie diet (over 3000 calories/day).
Merry Christmas (•"Kristos Razdayetsya," which means "Christ is born." ) to all who celebrate on the 7th. Christmas was/is a bit of a downer for our family this year. We lost my father-in-law a year ago, a nephew in a serious car accident this sum
Wall hanging. Made this for my entrance wall. Design is from Smartneedle.com and it stitched out beautifully.
Another wall hanging - this one for my mom. The design is from Embroidery Library. She loves it and hung it up right away.
Remember putting wooden spoons through the door handles to keep the kiddies out? Well, here's the kitty I have to keep out. She discovered long ago how to open doors and hides in the cupboards all the time - just waiting to jump out at you when you ope
